Stellar Transformation Volume 16 Chapter 9-10

Volume 16 – Marriage - Chapter 9 – The Black Lotus Clone Variant

Translated by: Pumpkin

Edited by: Phillip and Robin

Half a year passed since Qin Yu's arrival in the Dazzling Gold City.

Misty drizzling. The entire Dazzling Gold City was covered by a misty rain. Every well informed person in the Dazzling Gold City came to know that an exceptional person had joined the Dazzling Gold City.

Grandmaster of formation arrays, Qin Yu!

Inside a restaurant, a group of Heavenly Deities were drinking and chatting carefreely. In the Dazzling Gold City, Heavenly Deities were all over the place. For the Heavenly Deities, only the nine large squadron captains, the three Palace Masters and the three Godkings were people worthy of them to genuinely revere and respect.

"In another half year, it'll be the time of the competition. The position of the Misty Mystic Palace's Palace Master will definitely be Lord Dong's. That woman from the Hundred Flowers Palace and that grandmaster of formation arrays also want to become the Palace Master? Humph, they should first look at what sort of achievements and contributions they have provided." A darked skinned burly man with long hair and beard coldly humphed and said.

At this table were four burly men drinking wine and chatting.

Immediately, someone refuted. "Second brother, you cannot say it like that. Lady Xue Yu is also a High Level Heavenly Deity. She is extremely powerful. Even that grandmaster of formation arrays Qin Yu, he is someone that even Qiuzhong Fu was willing to become an attendant to. You have heard about that Qiuzhong Fu, no?"

The great name of the High Level Heavenly Deity Qiuzhong Fu was pretty renowned in the eastern region of the Divine Realm.

"Not only that, I have also heard that the Flowing Cloud Mansion that Mister Qin Yu lives in, currently has over a hundred Heavenly Deity servants. Those Heavenly Deity servants  are neither from our Heavenly Deity Army, nor the Imperial City's Army, instead, all those servants were personally brought along by Mister Qin Yu." Said the most slender fellow among the four with a gasp of admiration. "For a single person to possess over a hundred Heavenly Deity servants, I reckon that not even a city's governor would be able to match up against that."

Evidently, the other three people had also heard about this matter.

"Truly fucking amazing. Over a hundred Heavenly Deity servants, where did they come from?"

Generally, city governors, for example Yuchi City's Governor, would only possess several tens of Heavenly Deities underneath them. Even in the Dazzling Gold City, only the Heavenly Deity Army, the Imperial City's Imperial Guard Army and the three Great Godking's Palaces would be capable of possessing over a hundred Heavenly Deities.

Qin Yu, he was someone who would be fighting for the position of the Palace Master of the Misty Mystic Palace right after coming here, he was a grandmaster of formation arrays that had obtained the support of the Utmost East Sage Emperor. Before he had even shown his face around here, a large number of people in the entire Dazzling Gold City already started discussing him.

The Four Great Palace Masters. The only empty Palace Master position, the Misty Mystic Palace Master, who would end up obtaining it? This was still completely unknown.

Flowing Cloud Mansion.

The Flowing Cloud Mansion was bustling with noise and excitement. A lot of Heavenly Deities were gathered together, chatting or sparring. As for the courtyard that Qin Yu was training in, there was no one near there.

Inside the courtyard, inside a speck of dust transformed from the Jiang Lan Realm.

The second layer space of the Jiang Lan Realm!

Waves overflow the sky. The sounds of the waves were like the rumbles of thunder. This was an ocean located at the edge of the second layer space of the Jiang Lan Realm. At this moment, Qin Yu was sitting cross-legged in the sky above this ocean.

A slightly black colored gas and a slightly golden colored gas.

With Qin Yu as the center, these two gases were frantically spinning around and forming a Taiji shape. Merely, this Taiji was much greater than the one in the Universal World.

Qin Yu had only stayed a single month in the Universal World. At the moment when the black lotus core and the golden bead were unable to absorb any more flour paste energy, Qin Yu exited the Universal World and went to the second layer space of the Jiang Lan Realm.

At the beginning, the rotation speed of the black lotus core and the golden bead couldn't be considered fast. The range of the two of them was also not great.

However, as time passed, after several tens of years, it had turned to such.

"The percentage of the refinement is already over ninety nine percent. Only a tiny bit remains. I reckon that in another year, I should be able to completely refine them." Qiu Yu's heart was extremely clear. He continued to calmly put his all into the refinement. His soul's energy was being unceasingly poured into the black lotus core and the golden bead.

Around the current black lotus core and golden bead, a portion of their surroundings had turned into gases.

Time passed…

In a blink of an eye, a year and half had passed.

Qin Yu's estimation was mistaken. He had originally thought it would only require a year. However, it turned out that it required him to spend a large amount of his soul's energy to completely refine the final bit.

After a year and a half, he successfully refined the two items.

At this moment…

Qin Yu stood above the endless waves. The black lotus core and the golden bead had formed an enormous Taiji. This Taiji had Qin Yu as the center and was revolving. Merely, at this moment, practically the entire black lotus core and the golden bead had turned gaseous.

"Since you naturally attract each other, then I shall provide a helping hand."

Qin Yu slightly smiled, and with an intention from him…

Two brilliant lights seemed to clash with each other and shatter. Before Qin Yu, a large collision occurred. However, at the moment of the collision, no sound was emitted.

The two had fused together.

A dense cyan colored gas had been born. Qin Yu's Awareness was already attached to this cyan colored gas.

Like receiving an enlightenment, Qin Yu immediately understood what had occurred.

The dense cyan colored gas started to turn around. It then turned into a long cyan haired and cyan gowned youth. That youth had the exact same appearance as Qin Yu.

"True Body!" Said the cyan gowned youth to Qin Yu with a smile on his face. He then no longer spoke.

Qin Yu slightly smiled.

WIth a flip of his hand, Qin Yu took out a golden scroll. The cyan gowned quiet Qin Yu stood beside Qin Yu. Qin Yu started reading the golden scroll with his Divine Awareness. He then smiled. "Magnificent Lotus Clone, according to what is recorded in this golden scroll, the Magnificent Lotus Clone is as hard as a second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. However, what about this Magnificent Lotus Clone Variant?"

The cyan gowned Qin Yu merely smiled and didn't say anything.

Qin Yu naturally knew everything regarding the clone.

An ordinary Magnificent Lotus Clone was as hard as a second-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. Second-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasures were already extremely amazing and powerful. They were things that were almost impossible to destroy. Even Godkings would need to use Grandmist Spiritual Treasures and also a great amount of effort, in order to destroy a second-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasure.

What about this Magnificent Lotus Clone Variant?

It was formed through the fusion of the Nine Petaled Magnificent Lotus' black lotus core and the golden bead. In actuality, both the black lotus core and the golden bead were second-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasures. However, they were both cold attributes. When the two of them fused, their might doubled. The Magnificent Lotus Clone created through the fusion of the two was equivalent to a first-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasure.

A first-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasure was much more precious than two second-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasures.

To have two Grandmist Spiritual Treasures fuse with each other, it was something that could only be accidentally discovered and not sought. It was something determined by the Heavens and not something that could be forced by man. For Qin Yu to obtain the black lotus core and the golden bead at the same time, it was also extremely rare.

"With extreme hardness comes brittleness. Even if it were as hard as a first-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, it does not signify that it cannot be destroyed. However, this Magnificent Lotus Clone Variant instead…" Upon thinking about an effect this clone of his possessed, Qin Yu started growing excited.

Regardless of how hard a Grandmist Spiritual Treasure was, when an attack surpassessed its limit, it would still end up breaking.

However, what about the Magnificent Lotus Clone?

"Return to your origin." With an intention from Qin Yu.

The cyan gowned Qin Yu turned into a dense cyan gas. This dense cyan gas was drifting in the air. It would occasionally gather together and occasionally dissipate.

That's right.

This was a remarkable ability of this Magnificent Lotus Clone Variant.

The Magnificent Lotus Clone created through only the black lotus core, once it was broken apart and had its soul destroyed, it would definitely die. However, this Magnificent Lotus Core Variant was different.

Even if Godkings were to attack it with their strongest attack, it would only cause the Magnificent Lotus Clone to crumble back into the cyan gas. However, this Magnificent Lotus Clone Variant that Qin Yu possessed could once again gather together.

An undying body!

Attacking it with Void Flames, Spatial Destruction… there were no methods that were capable of breaking apart this undying body.

Even if Qin Yu's clone were to be trapped in a space, Qin Yu was still capable of making it return to his Universal World in an instant. Qin Yu's clone contained a trace of his consciousness. Thus, it was naturally also connected with the Universal World.

"With this clone, I am able to wander the entire Divine Realm as I please." Qin Yu started smiling.

This clone, once it condensed into a physical body, its toughness would be as strong as a first-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. It was possible to attack with merely its body. As for turning into a gas form, that was something that would only happen should it be met with the strongest attack of a Godking.

With such a strong defense, what about its attack?

Qin Yu's clone, it possessed more than only physical attacks using its body. It also possessed the 'Domain Attack!'

Coldness!

The black lotus core and the golden bead were both cold attributed. One could tell merely by the fact that the golden bead had almost frozen Qin Yu's soul. These two Grandmist Spiritual Treasures were two different cold attribute items. Once they fused together, their coldness was something that even the souls of Heavenly Deities would be incapable of withstanding.

"The clone refined through only a black lotus core would possess a 'Golden Deep Cold Air Domain.' However, the domain of this clone of mine is instead the 'Coldmist Domain.'"

Qin Yu looked to the cyan gowned Qin Yu.

The cyan gowned Qin Yu was emitting a layer of deep cyan cold air surrounding his body.

To the experts of the Divine Realm, the flames were separated into Black Divine Flame, White Pure Flame and Void Flame.

As for the types of cold air, they were in the corresponding order: Unitary Heavy Water Cold Air, Gold Elemental Heavy Water Cold Air and Coldmist Air.

The Coldmist Air was extremely unusual. It could be in the form of gas while also being able to condense into an ice-like solid form in an instant. It was so cold that even the Spatial Domains of Mid Level Heavenly Deities would only be able to at most resist it for a couple breaths of time.

"This clone can also be considered a powerful Grandmist Spiritual Treasure of mine." Qin Yu thought in his heart.

There were many third-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasures in the Divine Realm. Although the second-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasures were precious, there were still a few of those. Only the first-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasures were extremely extremely rare. A Godking would already be rejoicing should they be able to possess a single first-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasure.

The most powerful tools for Qin Yu to rely on right now.

One was this clone of his and the other was the Divine Spear Waning Snow that possessed an extremely terrifying attack power.

"The Divine Spear Waning Snow should not be considered as a Heavenly Divine Artifact anymore. Merely, it also cannot be considered a Grandmist Spiritual Treasure." Qin Yu smiled. "Exactly what sort of weapon should the Divine Spear Waning Snow be considered as?"

After absorbing the Dark and Yellow Energy, the attack power of the Divine Spear Waning Snow had reached a terrifying level.

After successfully refining the Magnificent Lotus Clone, Qin Yu's strength had increased greatly. He also gained another trump card to use when travelling about the Divine Realm. Qin Yu felt extremely pleased.

"This is a true clone." Qin Yu suddenly remembered a matter. His eyes started shining.

Qin Yu looked to his own clone.

The clone possessed a soul body within it. Furthermore, there was a trace of his own consciousness in it. Thus, it had naturally created a soul. This clone of his was also capable of cultivating. Furthermore, the achievement of its cultivation was something that Qin Yu's true body would also be able to enjoy.

"From today hence, this clone shall stay in the Jiang Lan Realm and comprehend the Spatial Laws left behind by Senior Zuo Qiumei." With an intention from Qin Yu, a seven colored light flew out from Qin Yu's head. It then assimilated into the head of the cyan gowned Qin Yu.

Qin Yu left behind half of the Zuo Qiumei's comprehension within the clone. This half was sufficient for the clone to comprehend for a very long time.

The clone and the true body, anything that the clone managed to comprehend, the true body would naturally also comprehend. The two of them shared everything.

With a movement, Qin Yu disappeared from the Jiang Lan Realm. As for the clone, the cyan gowned Qin Yu, it quietly sat on top of a reef stone in the ocean and started to comprehend the Spatial Laws left behind by Zuo Qiumei.

Eastern Region of the Divine Realm. Western District of the Dazzling Gold City. Inside the Flowing Cloud Mansion.

Qin Yu directly appeared in the courtyard of the Flowing Cloud Mansion. He gasped in his heart. "This Magnificent Lotus Clone's 'soul body' is truly valiant. The Nascent Soul that it condensed s stronger than even my own Nascent Soul. I reckon it would match a High Level Heavenly Deity's Nascent Soul."

Qin Yu was able to clearly sense the speed at which his clone was comprehending those Spatial Laws.

That astonishing speed was much faster than his own comprehension of the Spatial Laws. This was the advantage of possessing a strong Nascent Soul. Qin Yu was able to clearly sense that his comprehension of the space was increasing at every moment.

"After refining this clone, my cultivation speed has become a lot faster." Qin Yu felt extremely relieved.

Qin Yu walked out from the courtyard. The first thing he saw were two Heavenly Deities patrolling. Those two Heavenly Deities were slightly startled to see Qin Yu. After that, they immediately bowed and said respectfully. "Master."

"Good, you two can continue your patrolling." Qin Yu slightly nodded. He then proceeded to walk toward the location where Uncle Fu was currently.

The Heavenly Deity servants of the Flowing Cloud Mansion were all extremely well-behaved. A portion of them were in seclusion training whereas the others were patrolling, guarding and so on. In the Flowing Cloud Mansion, without walking very far, one would be able to encounter a Heavenly Deity.

Whenever a Heavenly Deity encountered Qin Yu, they would always respectfully bow to him. This gave Qin Yu a sensation of returning back to the Mortal Realm.

Back then when he was in the Mortal Realm's Palace, the maids and servants would also respectfully address him as "Third Highness' whenever they met him. Merely, those servants were mortals and his current servants were Heavenly Deities.

"Congratulations on master coming out from your seclusion training." Uncle Fu had already walked out. He immediately congratulated Qin Yu with a smile on his face when he saw Qin Yu.

Once Qin Yu remembered that Magnificent Lotus Clone Variant and his spatial comprehension that was increasing incessantly, he was unable to refrain from smiling. He said. "Haha, that's right. This is indeed worthy of congratulations."

Inside the main hall, Qin Yu sat on the master's seat. Uncle Fu and Qiuzhong Fu sat on the two guest seats beside him. Two Heavenly Deity maids brought tea up to them.

Uncle Fu and Qiuzhong Fu glanced at each other. The two of them were both able to tell that the current Qin Yu was in an extremely good mood.

With a wave of his hand, Qin Yu dismissed the two maids. He then lightly smiled and said. "Uncle Fu, Qiuzhong Fu, how has the Flowing Cloud Mansion been during the time I was gone? Has anything major occurred?

Qiuzhong Fu smiled and said. "There really isn't much. Merely, Princess Jing and Princess Ling came by. Also, that disciple of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Miss Xue Yu also visited. We told all of them that master was in seclusion training. Thus, they all left."

"They?" Qin Yu frowned.

While Qin Yu was able to understand the reason why Huangfu Jing and her sister would come, but why would the disciple of the Hundred Flowers Palace Xue Yu also come? Qin Yu was still on guard against this Xue Yu.

Uncle Fu suddenly said. "Master, did you manage to successfully transform your Divine Energy to Heavenly Divine Energy?" Uncle Fu knew about Qin Yu's matters very well. He also knew that Qin Yu wanted to find Li'er.

Once he completely transformed his Divine Energy into Heavenly Divine Energy, Qin Yu would be capable of opening the third layer space of the Jiang Lan Realm.

"Not yet." Qin Yu shook his head and said. "I reckon it'll still take some time for my Divine Energy to completely transform into Heavenly Divine Energy." As Qin Yu said that, he flipped his hand and a little green tower appeared on his hand.

Qin Yu once again tried to open the third layer space of the Jiang Lan Realm. Jade green colored Heavenly Divine Energy started pouring into the little green tower.

Ordinary, one would completely transform one's Divine Energy into Heavenly Divine Energy right after stepping into the Low Level Heavenly Deity level.

However, what about Qin Yu?

Because of the fact that he managed to set up the formation array 'Universe' and also comprehend the next evolutionary path of the 'Stellar Transformation,' his soul had instantly reached the peak of the Low Level Heavenly Deity stage. Adding on the assistance from the Meteoric Tear, Qin Yu's soul's control was comparable to a Mid Level Heavenly Deity's.

With a soul comparable to a Mid Level Heavenly Deity's soul, the speed at which his Divine Energy transformed into the Heavenly Divine Energy, was naturally astonishingly fast.

In merely several tens of years, a third of his Divine Energy had transformed into Heavenly Divine Energy.

"Is this amount of Heavenly Divine Energy enough?" Qin Yu tried. Faint lights were circulating through the little green tower. However, after Qin Yu poured all of his Heavenly Divine Energy into it, he was still a little bit lacking.

Qin Yu had already forgotten how many times he had tried it by now

Qin Yu would attempt to open the third layer of the Jiang Lan Realm whenever he was free.

"According to the extent that I am able to open, it should be sufficient to open the third layer of the Jiang Lan Realm when I completely transform my Divine Energy into Heavenly Divine Energy." Qin Yu sighed in his heart. "I must still endure!"

Endure, endure till the day when he would be capable of opening the third layer space of the Jiang Lan Realm.

With a flip of his hand, Qin Yu retrieved the Jiang Lan Realm. In a blink of an eye, Qin Yu calmed his mood. To experience this all year round, Qin Yu's tolerance was already at a very high level. Qin Yu looked to Uncle Fu. "Uncle Fu, in another five months time, it shall be the date of the competition for the position of the Misty Mystic Palace's Palace Master. There is a need for three candidates for this contest. One of them will be me, these candidates for the palace master contest. Other than me, there needs to be a Mid Level Heavenly Deity and a Low Level Heavenly Deity. Say, who do you think should be the candidates for the Mid Level Heavenly Deity and Low Level Heavenly Deity positions?"

Qin Yu also felt extremely helpless in his heart.

He had originally wanted Xiao Hei to be the candidate for the Low Level Heavenly Deity. However, Qin Yu came to know that Xiao Hei's Flowing Light Spear Path was suspected to be related with the temporal law.

While High Level Heavenly Deities might not be able to see through the essence of the Flowing Light Spear Path, Godking level experts were definitely able to see through it.

In the contest for the position of Palace Master, the Utmost East Sage Emperor, the Hundred Flowers Godking and even that Gold Sword Godking would likely show up. If these Three Great Godkings were to discover that a Low Level Heavenly Deity was able to comprehend the temporal law, then the aftermath…. Was something that Qin Yu simply didn't dare to imagine.

Although Qin Yu did not fear trouble, he still didn't like them.

Especially if the Three Great Godkings were to discover Xiao Hei's secret, it was very likely for Xiao Hei to be caught in a dangerous situation. Qin Yu didn't dare to gamble. He didn't dare to gamble with his brother.

In Qin Yu's heart, a mere Palace Master position of the Misty Mystic Palace was simply incomparable to his own brother.

Thus, the Low Level Heavenly Deity candidate for the competition absolutely couldn't be Xiao Hei.

Uncle Fu asked confusedly. "Master, I've heard you say before that the candidate for the Low Level Heavenly Deity would be Young Master Hei Yu. Young Master Hei Yu's strength is also…"

"Enough. Xiao Hei needs to train. This contest battle, I will not have him participate in it." Qin Yu said directly.

Hearing Qin Yu saying it like this, Uncle Fu also stopped asking further. Instead, he looked to Qiuzhong Fu and said with a smile. "Qiuzhong Fu, you are more familiar with the strength of those Heavenly Deities. Say, who do you think the candidates should be?"

QIn Yu also looked to the High Level Heavenly Deity Qiuzhong Fu.

Qiuzhong Fu grew silent for a moment and then slowly said. "There are only a total of ten Mid Level Heavenly Deities. Among them, the strongest ones are Yigong Shu and Black Dragon. If the two of them were to fight each other to the death, the Black Dragon would be a bit stronger."

Qin Yu lightly nodded.

He knew that Black Dragon referred to Tan Jiu. Merely, not many people knew Tan Jiu's name.

"As for the Low Level Heavenly Deities, in this period of time, those Low Level Heavenly Deities have sparred with one another. Among them, two people were the strongest. One was called Sui Fu and the other one was called Kang Qi. The two of them are both at the peak of the Low Level Heavenly Deity stage. At the same time, they both possess fantastic abilities." Qiuzhong Fu said directly.

Qin Yu lightly nodded. "Qiuzhong Fu, you are to order people to call Black Dragon, Sui Fu, and Kang Qi over."

"Yes, master." Qiuzhong Fu immediately stood up, walked out of the main hall and shouted to a maid not far away. "Promptly call Black Dragon, Sui Fu and Kang Qi over."

In a short moment, Nine-headed Black Dragon Tan Jiu, Sui Fu and Kai Qi arrived.

Tan Jiu still had the appearance of a scarlet haired scarlet browed dark and lean youngster. As for Sui Fu, he was an extremely robust burly man nearly three meters tall. And Kang Qi, he was a very bright looking youth.

"Master." These three men all kneeled down on one knee and said respectfully.

"You can rise." Qin Yu's gaze was cast toward Tan Jiu. "Tan Jiu, have you recovered from your injury?" Qin Yu had a slight smile on his face. This Tan Jiu's severe injury was deeply related to him.

Tan Jiu was slightly startled. He then said. "I am almost completely healed."

"You're injured?" Qiuzhong Fu frowned. He looked to Tan Jiu. "If you are injured, would you still be able be a match against Yigong Shu?"

An air of arrogance flashed past Tan Jiu's face. Coldly, he said. "Even though I am injured, I am still capable of killing Yigong Shu. Let alone my injury is almost completely recovered."

"Almost?" Qin Yu frowned. "Doesn't that mean you haven't completely healed? Tell me, how long would it take for you to completely heal?"

Tan Jiu said respectfully. "I require merely ten years to completely heal."

It was Tan Jiu's soul that was injured. Had it been his body that was injured, he would be able to completely recover just by using his Heavenly Divine Energy. However, injuries to the soul were much more problematic.

"Ten years?" Qin Yu slightly nodded. "That's good. In that case, after you select your weapon later, I shall have you to enter into the Jiang Lan Realm and train for ten years."

Tan Jiu's eyes shined as he looked to Qin Yu. "Weapon?"

Qin Yu took a glance at Tan Jiu. Then, with a flip of his hand, he took out four High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts. Of the four High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts, one was a sword, one was a spear, one was a battle-axe and the last one was an enormous sword.

"All four of these weapons are High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts. I regard this battle for the position of Palace Master of the Misty Mystic Palace to be of considerable importance. Tan Jiu, you can select a High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifact to use for the time being." Said Qin Yu indifferently.

Tan Jiu, Qiuzhong Fu and the rest of them were all shocked to find out that Qin Yu was capable of taking our four High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts.

They were High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts! Even ordinary Godkings would not be able to take out four High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts at once. Tan Jiu had thought that Qin Yu possessed a lot of treasures. However, never had he anticipated for Qin Yu to possess that many treasures.

However, hearing that Qin Yu said to have him select a High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifact to 'use for the time being,' Tan Jiu was unable to refrain from being somewhat disappointed.

It was merely to use for the time being.

"If you win the battle in the contest for the position of Palace Master, then the High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifact that you select shall be yours." Qin Yu said. Tan Jiu's eyes immediately shined. He then kneeled on one knee and said respectfully." Master can rest assured. As long as my opponent is a Mid Level Heavenly Deity, I will definitely win!"

At this moment, Tan Jiu was extremely determined.

Regardless of who his opponent might be, for the High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifact, Tan Jiu planned to disregard everything and win.

"Go ahead and select your weapon." Said Qin Yu with a light smile on his face.

Tan Jiu slightly nodded. He then started to carefully inspect the four High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts. Divine Sword Scarlet Blood was a weapon that Tan Jiu was familiar with. As for the other three weapons, Tan Jiu was able to guess how powerful they were.

"In that case, I'll select…" Right before Tan Jiu was about to make his selection, Qin Yu said. "Let me remind you. This enormous sword here can not be merely judged by its appearance from the outside. This enormous sword can be split into two battle blades and a battle sword."

The enormous sword could be separated into two parts. The two blades on its side would become two battle blades. After that, the three finger wide battle sword would appear in the middle.

Qin Yu was very certain that these four Heavenly Divine Artifacts each possessed their own advantages.

The Divine Sword Scarlet Blood was strong in its special effect of 'sharpness.' The battle-axe was strong in its 'heavy' special effect. As for that spear, its special effect was 'Body Break.' As for that enormous sword, it possessed ordinary effects. Merely, it could be separated into three different weapons.

As Tan Jiu was capable of turning into nine people, this enormous sword just happened to suit him very well.

Tan Jiu's eyes immediately shined. He instantly picked up this enormous sword and dripped a drop of blood on it to bind it. After that, this enormous sword was separated into two battle blades and a battle sword. Seeing the two battle blades and the battle sword in his hands, Tan Jiu's eyes had turned red.

"Thank you master. With this High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifact, regardless of who my opponent might be, I will definitely be able to win." Said Tan Jiu with resolution.

In order to obtain this High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifact forever, Tan Jiu had already decided to fight as if his life depended on it. Tan Jiu was determined to win even if he ended up using the method of self-denotation of his clones.

"Good. In that case, you can enter the Jiang Lan Realm and set your mind to train at ease." Qin Yu directly sent Tan Jiu into the second layer space of the Jiang Lan Realm. Although it was only over five months till the battle, it was several tens of years in the Jiang Lan Realm's second layer space.

Qin Yu looked to the other two Low Level Heavenly Deities.

One was Sui Fu and the other was Kang Qi.

The burly man Sui Fu and the bright looking youth Kang Qi both looked at the three High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts floating before Qin Yu with reddened eyes.

[TL: in chinese, green with envy is literally written as 'red eyes.']

"Humph, mere Low Level Heavenly Deities also want High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts?" Qiuzhong Fu humped coldly.

That Sui Fu and Kang Qi immediately woke up to reality. Kang Qi said. "Mister Qiuzhong, the two of us dare not have extravagant hopes. Even if they were to be given to us, we would also not dare to accept them. We reckon that we would directly be killed by envious Mid Level Heavenly Deities."

In the Divine Realm, it was extremely dangerous for a Low Level Heavenly Deity to possess a High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifact.

The only exceptions were people like Qin Yu who possessed the remarkable ability of the formation array space.

"Enough. I won't be giving these Heavenly Divine Artifacts to the two of you. Merely, I wanted to allow you to use them during the contest. Of course… if you are to provide the great service of winning, then I shall bestow upon you a Mid Quality Heavenly Divine Artifact." Qin Yu said directly.

That Sui Fu and Kang Qi both burst into cheers.

A Mid Quality Heavenly Divine Artifact was already extremely precious to Low Level Heavenly Deities.

"Master, Sui Fu and Kang Qi possess different abilities. Looking at these three High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts, this subordinate believes that Sui Fei is suited for the battle-axe and Kang Qi for the sword. As for who among the two of them is stronger, this subordinate is unable to determine that easily." Said Qiuzhong Fu frankly.

Qin Yu lightly nodded.

"It's very simple. The two of you, one shall take the Great Heavy Battle Ax and the other the Divine Sword Scarlet Blood. The two of you are then to enter the Jiang Lan Realm and battle each other. The winner shall become the candidate for the Low Level Heavenly Deity spot." Qin Yu directly ordered.

Sui Fu and Kang Qi glanced at each other. The two of them were filled with battle intention.

Then, with slightly shivering hands, the two of them received the two High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts. It was likely their first time touching High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts.

"Let's go and enter the Jiang Lan Realm." Qin Yu stood up.

Instantly, Qin Yu, Uncle Fu and everyone else in the main hall disappeared.

Time passed. In a blink of an eye, over five months had passed. Qin Yu had also made his selection for the candidates for the battle. For the Mid Level Heavenly Deity spot, it was Tan Jiu. For the Low Level Heavenly Deity spot, it was Sui Fu.

The battle between Sui Fu and Kang Qi, even now, when Qin Yu recalled it, he would gasp with admiration. The remarkable abilities of the experts of the Divine Realm, many of them were things that were unimaginable. This had also caused Qin Yu to become even more cautious of the contest battle.

If his own people were to be powerful, then the people of his opponents would definitely not be weak either!

Tomorrow was the day of the battle.

The entire Dazzling Gold City was bustling with noise and excitement. Regardless of whether it were restaurants, teahouses or even army barracks, the majority of people were all discussing about the three parties which were about to contest over the position of Palace Master. These three parties were respectively…

The grandmaster of formation arrays that the Utmost East Sage Emperor had personally invited, Mister Qin Yu.

The High Level Heavenly Deity that was wholeheartedly supported by the Hundred Flowers Palace, Xue Yu.

The super valiant military general supported by over ninety percent of the Heavenly Deity Army, High Level Heavenly Deity Dong Hou.

These three sides, when outsiders looked to them, it might appear that Xue Yu and Dong Hou possessed a stronger camp and more supporters. However, Qin Yu was truly too mysterious. It was still very hard to tell who would win and who would lose.

Tomorrow, those three parties would be, under the joint host of the Utmost East Sage Emperor, Hundred Flowers Godking and Gold Sword Godking, contesting for the position of Palace Master under the watch of the majority of the entire Dazzling Gold City's residents!

The position of Palace Master of the Misty Mystic Palace, who exactly would take it? This would be known tomorrow.
